Definitions

  • Embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of display technology, and in particular, to a two dimensional (2D) /three dimensional (3D) switchable display panel, and a display method and a display device thereof
  • optical barrier type 3D technology which is also known as parallax barrier technology.
  • An optical barrier type 3D product is compatible with processes of existing LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panel, i.e., which is achieved by further modifying an existing LCD panel as a liquid crystal grating, to be specific, by forming stripe-shaped electrode strips on both upper and lower substrates of the LCD panel, with a working principle being in that, upon implementing 3D display, the liquid crystal grating is electrified; and since liquid crystal molecules between the stripe-shaped electrode strips on the upper and lower substrates are twisted, then light is inhibited from passing therethrough completely, such that light and shade staggered strips which are arranged alternately are formed by the liquid crystal grating. Then, when left-eye images and right-eye images displayed are observed by respective left and right eyes of the viewer, respectively, stereoscopic 3D images are formed by the brain of the viewer.
  • LCD Liquid Crystal Display
  • a backlight source module should be provided to the LCD panel therein, resulting in larger thickness thereof.
  • some previous LCD panels are replaced by alternative novel OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) display panels in each of which the OLED display panel is combined and cooperating with a grating so as to implement an optical barrier type 3D product with smaller thickness.

Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention

    • Description of the Related Art
  • There are a variety of ways for implementing naked-eye 3D display, comprising optical barrier type 3D technology, which is also known as parallax barrier technology. An optical barrier type 3D product is compatible with processes of existing LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panel, i.e., which is achieved by further modifying an existing LCD panel as a liquid crystal grating, to be specific, by forming stripe-shaped electrode strips on both upper and lower substrates of the LCD panel, with a working principle being in that, upon implementing 3D display, the liquid crystal grating is electrified; and since liquid crystal molecules between the stripe-shaped electrode strips on the upper and lower substrates are twisted, then light is inhibited from passing therethrough completely, such that light and shade staggered strips which are arranged alternately are formed by the liquid crystal grating. Then, when left-eye images and right-eye images displayed are observed by respective left and right eyes of the viewer, respectively, stereoscopic 3D images are formed by the brain of the viewer.
  • In existing optical barrier type 3D products, a backlight source module should be provided to the LCD panel therein, resulting in larger thickness thereof. In the prior art, some previous LCD panels are replaced by alternative novel OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) display panels in each of which the OLED display panel is combined and cooperating with a grating so as to implement an optical barrier type 3D product with smaller thickness. However, in the combination therebetween, even if it is possible that the entire thickness of the optical barrier type 3D product is reduced, 2D display effect thus created is still not good enough due to the fact that the image sampling rate by PPI (Pixels Per Inch) of the OLED display panel is lower than that of the LCD panel when the optical barrier type 3D product is operated in a 2D/3D display mode.

    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION
  • Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described hereinafter in detail with reference to the attached drawings, wherein the like reference numerals refer to the like elements. The present disclosure may, however, be embodied in many different forms, and thus the detailed description of the embodiment of the application in view of attached drawings should not be construed as being limited to the embodiment set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the general concept of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.
  • In the following detailed description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the disclosed embodiments. It will be apparent, however, that one or more embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are schematically shown in order to simplify the drawing.
  • Respective thickness and shape of each optical element in the drawings are only intended to exemplarily illustrate the contents of the disclosure, rather than to demonstrate the practical dimension or proportion of components of the 2D/3D switchable display panel.
  • As illustrated in Fig. 1, there is provided a 2D/3D switchable display panel, comprising an OLED display panel 1 which is self-luminescent, and a LCD panel 2 which is provided with no color filter layer and disposed on the display side of the OLED display panel 1; the OLED display panel is used for displaying images when the 2D/3D switchable display panel operates in a 3D display mode, and functions as a backlight source module when the 2D/3D switchable display panel operates in a 2D display mode; and wherein the LCD display panel functions as a grating when the 2D/3D switchable display panel operates in the 3D display mode, and displays images when the 2D/3D switchable display panel operates in the 2D display mode.
  • In this exemplary embodiment of the invention, By means of the combination between the self-luminescent OLED display panel 1 and the LCD panel 2 which is provided with no color filter layer, the OLED display panel 1 displays images in the 3D display mode, and the LCD panel 2 functions as a functional panel which forms both left-eye and right-eye images respectively, and the LCD panel 2 displays images in the 2D display mode while the OLED display panel 1 functions as a backlight source module for providing backlight therefrom. Therefore, the LCD display panel 2 is still used to display images with higher PPI in the 2D display mode while the 2D/3D switchable display panel is ensured to have smaller thickness, such that better display effect may in turn be obtained in the 2D display mode.
  • Meanwhile, since the 2D/3D switchable display panel is not provided with a backlight source module, the light emitted from the OLED display panel 1 is provided at a relatively small distance (i.e., placement height H) from the LCD panel 2; thereby, the OLED display panel 1 displays images while the LCD panel 2 functions as a grating such that 3D image display with high quality may be realized. Furthermore, on the basis of the characteristics of the self-luminescent structure and low power consumption of the OLED display panel 1, it is thus not necessary to provide individually a backlight source module, such that a decreased thickness and a reduced power consumption of the 2D/3D switchable display panel may be obtained.
  • The LCD panel 2 may comprise an array substrate 21, a second substrate 22, and a liquid crystal layer 23. The array substrate 21 and the second substrate 22 are bonded together at their respective edges by a first frame sealant 26, and the liquid crystal layer 23 is interposed between the array substrate 21 and the second substrate 22, wherein the second substrate 22 is not provided with a color filter layer. In other words, the LCD panel 2 may not be restricted by any color filter layer, such that an effect of grating display may be implemented; besides, it is also possible that, on the basis of the R, G, B color lights emitted from the OLED display panel 1, display of colors may be implemented by the adjustment of deflection angles of the liquid crystal.
  • In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, a lower polarizer sheet 24 is arranged at a side, facing away from the liquid crystal layer 23, of the array substrate 21 of the LCD panel 2; and an upper polarizer sheet 25 is arranged at a side, facing away from the liquid crystal layer 23, of the second substrate 22 of the LCD panel 2. In this embodiment, the LCD panel 2 functions not only as a grating, but also as a display main body for 2D display, for facilitating not only the 3D display mode with optical barrier type 3D technology, and the 2D display mode, respectively, but also switchover of display modes therebetween as desired.
  • Certainly, with the concept of the invention as defined by the appended claims, the 2D/3D switchable display panel as illustrated in Fig. 1 may also be modified and/or varied, so as to apply for both 3D display mode with micro lenticular lens type 3D display technology and normal 2D display mode. By way of example, referring to Fig. 2 (the reference numerals therein with identical meaning to those in Fig .1), a lenticular lens layer 27 is arranged at a side, facing away from the liquid crystal layer 23, of the second substrate 22, such that the LCD panel 2 is essentially a transparent display screen in the 3D display mode, and alternatively, the images displayed by the OLED display panel 1 are to be transformed to both left-eye and right-eye images for the corresponding viewer, by the lenticular lens layer 27. In this exemplary embodiment, micro lenticular lens 3D display may be implemented by the lenticular lens layer 27, while the LCD panel 2 operates as a display main body for 2D display, for facilitating not only the 3D display mode with micro lenticular lens type 3D technology, and the normal 2D display mode, respectively, but also switchover of display modes therebetween as desired.
  • It should be noticed that, the LCD panel 2 also has display function. Therefore, a pixel unit array (not illustrated here) is provided on the array substrate 21, which pixel unit array may be used for displaying images thereon, and each pixel unit may comprise components such as thin film transistor(s), pixel electrode(s), common electrode(s), and so on. Certainly, on the array substrate 21 there should also be data line(s), gate line(s) and common electrode line(s), etc, which need not be repeatedly described in details one by one here.
  • By way of example, in the 2D/3D switchable display panel as illustrated in both Figs. 1 and 2, the OLED display panel 1 comprises a display substrate 11 and a packaging cover plate 12; and an adhesive portion 3 is interposed between the LCD panel and the OLED display panel, and the array substrate 21 of the LCD panel 2 is adhered to the packaging cover plate 12 by the adhesive portion 3. Certainly, the OLED display panel 1 may also comprises any other necessary layer structures, elements or components, for example, a display component 13 formed on the display substrate 11; and in another example, a second frame sealant 14 adhered between the display substrate 11 and the packaging cover plate 12; and any other corresponding layer structure, elements and components of the OLED display panel 1 which may also be provided as required on the basis of the exemplary embodiments of the invention, which need not be repeatedly described in details one by one here.
  • In order to make the thickness of the 2D/3D switchable display panel even smaller, it is possible that the placement height H is reduced, such that the 2D/3D switchable display panel as illustrated in Fig. 1 is optimized, e.g., by optimizing the OLED display panel 1. As further illustrated in Fig. 3, the OLED display panel 1 itself only comprises a display substrate 11 and a display component arranged thereon for defining a display zone around which an adhesive portion 3 is provided on the display substrate 11 of the OLED display panel 1; and the array substrate 21 of the LCD panel 2 is adhered onto the display substrate 11 of the OLED display panel 1 by means of the adhesive portion. In this exemplary embodiment, the OLED display panel 1 only comprises a display substrate 11, resulting in smaller distance between the light-emitting display component 13 on the display substrate 11 and the LCD panel 2 (i.e., placement height H), which contributes to implementing 3D image display with high quality while decreasing the thickness of the 2D/3D switchable display panel.
  • In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the LCD panel 2 may implement display of colors on the basis of the R, G, B color lights emitted from the OLED display panel 1, by adjusting the deflection angles of liquid crystal. In order to obtain better display effect, in an exemplary embodiment of the invention, an area of a corresponding region of each pixel on the OLED display panel is not only larger than but also an integral multiple of an area of a corresponding region of each pixel on the LCD panel 2. Moreover, a highest refresh rate of the OLED display panel is at least three times of the lowest refresh rate of the LCD panel 2. For facilitating easy understanding thereof, specific depictions are set forth as below, in view of Figs. 4 and 5.
  • Referring to Fig.4, OLED display panel 1 is self-luminescent, and an area of a corresponding region of each pixel on the OLED display panel is 4 times of an area of a corresponding region of each pixel on the LCD panel, wherein the specific value of "4 times" only intends for facilitating more convenient depiction, the embodiments of the invention being not limited or confined thereto, i.e., the specific multiple value may also be chosen as any integer larger than one, e.g., two, three, or five, or any other bigger integer. It is also conceivable that the PPI of the LCD panel 2 is an integral multiple, larger than one, of that of the OLED display panel 1.
  • By way of example, the refresh rate of the OLED display panel 1 is chosen as 180Hz while the refresh rate of the LCD panel 2 is chosen as 60Hz. Then, within a display duration of a frame of 2D image by the LCD panel 2, the OLED display panel 1 may display in three individual fields sequentially, i.e., R field, G filed and B field, at different time period. As illustrated, within a R-field display time of the OLED display panel 1 corresponding to a frame of 2D image, all the R pixels are displayed on the OLED, and the emitted R color lights are uniformly passed to the LCD panel 2 after light mixing, then each pixel on the LCD panel 2 displays respective R color with desired gray scale value, by regulating the deflection angles of liquid crystal 23 to obtain desired transmittances of R color, as a function of the gray scale of the R color to be displayed within the pixel by the frame of 2D image. Similarly, within a G field and a B field display times of the OLED display panel 1 corresponding to a frame of 2D image, the respective G field and B field of the OLED display panel 1 display on the basis of above principle respectively. Hereby, the frame of 2D image is displayed completely. It should also be noticed that, according to the design requirements for both the OLED display panel 1 and the LCD panel 2, it is possible that the display sequences of R field, G field and B field of the OLED display panel 1 are adjusted, not being limited or confined thereto.
  • Further referring to Fig. 5, the OLED display panel 1 functions as the display main body while the LCD panel 2 operates as a grating, such that a 3D image with certain parallax is passed through the grating formed by the LCD panel 2 and thus processed by the operational principle of light-splitting of the grating, and projected onto both left and right eyes of the viewer, so as to form naked-eye 3D display effect. The distance between the light emitted from the OLED display panel 1 and the LCD panel 2, i.e., the placement height H, is relatively small, thus facilitating the display of 3D image with high quality.
  • It should also be noticed that, when the LCD panel 2 functions as a grating, such a grating may be flexibly formed as prescribed, so as to meet the display requirement of the OLED display panel 1.
  • In this exemplary embodiment, a superior beneficial technical effect is provided in that, by means of the combination between the self-luminescent OLED display panel 1 and the LCD panel 2 which is provided with no color filter layer, the OLED display panel 1 displays images in the 3D display mode while the LCD panel 2 functions as a functional panel for forming both left-eye and right-eye images respectively, and the LCD panel 2 displays images in the 2D display mode while the OLED display panel 1 functions as a backlight source module for providing backlight therefrom. In other words, in the 2D display mode, the LCD panel 2 is still used for displaying images with high PPI, thereby better display effect may still be obtained in the 2D display mode. Meanwhile, since the 2D/3D switchable display panel is not provided with specific purpose backlight source module, the light emitted from the OLED display panel 1 is provided at a relatively small distance from the LCD panel 2; thereby, the OLED display panel 1 displays images while the LCD panel 2 functions as a grating such that 3D image display with high quality may be realized. Furthermore, on the basis of the characteristics of the self-luminescent structure and low power consumption of the OLED display panel 1, it is thus not necessary to provide individually a backlight source module, such that a decreased thickness and a reduced power consumption of the 2D/3D switchable display panel may be obtained.
  • In another aspect of the embodiments of the invention, there is also provided a 2D/3D switchable display device, comprising the aforementioned 2D/3D switchable display panel.
  • In this exemplary embodiment, a superior beneficial technical effect is provided in that, by means of the combination between the self-luminescent OLED display panel 1 and the LCD panel 2 which is provided with no color filter layer, the OLED display panel 1 displays images in the 3D display mode while the LCD panel 2 functions as a functional panel for forming both left-eye and right-eye images respectively, and the LCD panel 2 displays images in the 2D display mode while the OLED display panel 1 functions as a backlight source module for providing backlight therefrom. In other words, in the 2D display mode, the LCD panel 2 is still used for displaying images with high PPI, thereby better display effect may still be obtained in the 2D display mode. Meanwhile, since the 2D/3D switchable display panel is not provided with specific purpose backlight source module, the light emitted from the OLED display panel 1 is provided at a relatively small distance from the LCD panel 2; thereby, the OLED display panel 1 displays images while the LCD panel 2 functions as a grating such that 3D image display with high quality may be realized. Furthermore, on the basis of the characteristics of the self-luminescent structure and low power consumption of the OLED display panel 1, it is thus not necessary to provide individually a backlight source module, such that a decreased thickness and a reduced power consumption of the 2D/3D switchable display panel may be obtained.

    • operating the LCD panel in a grating displaying mode and passing the images displayed by the OLED display panel through the LCD panel to form both left-eye images and right-eye images simultaneously such that the 2D/3D switchable display panel operates in the 3D display mode.
  • Furthermore, in another exemplary embodiment, the LCD panel comprises a lenticular lens layer arranged at a side, facing away from the liquid crystal layer, of the second substrate, and the OLED display panel displays images while the LCD panel operates as a grating, such that the 2D/3D switchable display panel is operated in the 3D display mode, the display method specifically comprising:

In other words, in the 2D display mode, the LCD panel 2 is still used for displaying images with high PPI, thereby better display effect may still be obtained in the 2D display mode.
